Title – Legal ‘party drug’ GBL has destroyed my life
Source – Metro
Date – 25th September 2009

If there was any doubt about the effects of GBL use or the addictive nature of this drug, then this story should dispel those myths.

We recently commented on the plans to make GBL an illegal class C drug. See our recent feature:

‘Legal highs’ set to be banned

I’m just posting this story to reinforce the comments made in that blog entry and to reemphasise the reasons why this dangerous drug needs to be added to the list of controlled substances. The arguments about which class it should fall into are for me secondary (no disrespect is meant to those who have suffered at the hands of the dealers exploiting the current ‘legal’ nature of the drug), the important thing is to get it classified so that the ‘legal’ avenues of sale are closed and it can at least be seen to be what it is; a dangerous illegal drug.
At
Beyond The Blue we run a number of courses for those working in the Licensed Retail Sector including The National Certificate for Licensees Drug Awareness (NCLDA). For other sectors our bespoke Drug Awareness (DA) courses, which examine illegal drugs, their effects and the drug litter synonymous with their use, are specifically designed to reflect the nature of our clients working environment. Our Conflict Management and Resolution (CMR) course complements these courses to help employees deal with Workplace Violence and drug related behaviour.
